We give an alternate proof of one of the inequalities proved recently for martingales (=sums of martingale differences) in a non-commutative $L_p$-space, with $1<p<\infty$, by Q. Xu and the author. This new approach is restricted to $p$ an…

In this paper we introduce a new diophantine inequality with prime numbers. Let $1<c<\frac{10}{9}$. We show that for any fixed $\theta>1$, every sufficiently large positive number $N$ and a small constant $\varepsilon>0$, the tangent…

Let $M,N$ be real-valued martingales such that $N$ is differentially subordinate to $M$. The paper contains the proofs of the following weak-type inequalities: (i) If $M\geq0$ and $0<p\leq1$, then \[\Vert N\Vert_{p,\infty}\leq2\Vert…

Let X be a Banach space. Suppose that for all $p\in (1, \infty)$ a constant $C_{p,X}$ depending only on X and p exists such that for any two X-valued martingales f and g with tangent martingale difference sequences one has \[\E\|f\|^p \leq…

Let $X$ be a supermartingale starting from $0$ which has only nonnegative jumps. For each $0<p<1$ we determine the best constants $c_p$, $C_p$ and $\mathfrak{c}_p$ such that $$ \,\,\,\,\sup_{t\geq 0}\left|\left|X_t\right|\right|_p\leq…

We show that if $A=\{a_1,a_2,..., a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of numbers, and the differences of the consecutive elements are all distinct, then $|A+B|\geq c|A|^{1/2}|B|$ for any finite set of numbers $B$. The bound is tight up to…

We show the existence of a constant $c > 0$ such that, for all positive integers $n$, there exist integers $1 \leq a_1 < \ldots < a_k \leq n$ such that there are at least $cn^2$ distinct integers of the form $\sum_{i=u}^{v}a_i$ with $1 \leq…

Let $1\le p<\8$ and $(x_n)_{\nen}$ be a sequence of positive elements in a non-commutative $L_p$ space and $(E_n)_{\nen}$ be an increasing sequence of conditional expectations, then the $L_p$ norm of \sum_n E_n(x_n) can be estimated by c_p…

For a fixed positive integer $m$ and any partition $m = m_1 + m_2 + \cdots + m_e$ , there exists a sequence $\{n_{i}\}_{i=1}^{k}$ of positive integers such that $$m=\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}+\cdots+\frac{1}{n_{k}},$$ with the property…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $a$ be an integer not divisible by $p$. When $m$ is a positive integer with $p\equiv1\pmod{2m}$ and $2$ is an $m$th power residue modulo $p$, we determine the value of the product $\prod_{k\in…

For a prime number $p$ and integer $x$ with $\gcd(x,p)=1$ let $\overline{x}$ denote the multiplicative inverse of $x$ modulo $p.$ In the present paper we are interested in the problem of distribution modulo $p$ of the sequence $$…

Let $\{d_k\}_{k \geq 0}$ be a complex martingale difference in $L^p[0,1],$ where $1<p<\infty,$ and $\{\e_k\}_{k \geq 0}$ a sequence in $\{\pm 1\}.$ We obtain the following generalization of Burkholder's famous result. If $\tau \in [-\frac…

In this note we associate a sequence of non-negative integers to any convergent series of positive real numbers and study this sequence for the series $\sum_{n \geq 1} n^{-k}$ where $k$ is an integer $\geq 2$.

In this paper, we obtain almost sure invariance principles with rate of order $n^{1/p}\log^\beta n$, $2< p\le 4$, for sums associated to a sequence of reverse martingale differences. Then, we apply those results to obtain similar…

We find the sharp constant $C=C(\tau,p, \mathbb{E}G, \mathbb{E}F)$ of the following inequality $\|(G^{2}+ \tau^{2} F^{2})^{1/2} \|_{p} \leq C \|F\|_{p},$ where $G$ is the transform of a martingale $F$ under a predictable sequence…

Let $(X_{i}, \mathcal{F}_{i})_{i\geq 1}$ be a sequence of supermartingale differences and let $S_k=\sum_{i=1}^k X_i$. We give an exponential moment condition under which $P(\max_{1\leq k \leq n} S_k \geq n)=O(\exp\{-C_1 n^{\alpha}\}),$…

For integer $m, p,$ we study tangent power sum $\sum^m_{k=1}\tan^{2p}\frac{\pi k}{2m+1}.$ We prove that, for every $m, p,$ it is integer, and, for a fixed p, it is a polynomial in $m$ of degree $2p.$ We give recurrent, asymptotical and…

We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…
